    Alliteration → Phonestheme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Alliteration draws attention to recurring initial sounds. A phonestheme associates a recurring sound pattern with meaning. Recurrence alone provides too little evidence to establish that association.

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonesthemes are recurring sound patterns associated with meanings. They offer evidence to investigate in sound symbolism, even where the pattern has no clear status as a morpheme.

    Onomatopoeia → Phonestheme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonesthemes associate groups of sounds with aspects of meaning. Onomatopoeia takes sounds as its model. The comparison concerns two ways in which linguistic form can evoke meaning.

    Ein Atlasprofil grenzt den Zielbegriff ausdrücklich ab. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)

  5. R-362 · Cross-field connection · directed

    Phonestheme → Morpheme

    Meaning of the relation type
    Die Verbindung überschreitet einen fachlichen Kontinent. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    A phonestheme can lead hearers to expect a meaning without serving as a clearly separable morpheme. The comparison tests where an association can be analysed as a functional unit.
    Evidence basis

    Phonestheme → Onomatopoeia

    Meaning of the relation type
    Beide Begriffe gehören demselben fachlichen Kontinent an. (Original source wording; no separate translation recorded)
    Why connected?
    English editorial text
    Phonesthemes and onomatopoeia connect sound with meaning in different ways. A recurring association can suggest meaning without imitating a sound.
